It's been a little while, so going up 23 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.200 to Cleveland. It was a nice little event because Michael 24 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.760 I went up with your brother Tim, and as we 25 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.640 were driving up, believe it or not, we looked over 26 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.519 at the Uni Lot, which is a big thing in Cleveland. 27 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.840 Usually it's where everybody parks when the Browns games are 28 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.799 going on. So we look over off the highway, freeway 29 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.319 whatever you want to call it, and Alsodden, we see 30 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.040 this dude dressed up as the Ultimate Warrior just running 31 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.879 down the street and he's like shaking the fences and everything, 32 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.920 just having the best time of his life. And he 33 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.280 was in pretty good shape too, so it looked the 34 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.760 part very well, and you know, shirtless and everything, and 35 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.640 we're like, wow, I think we're in the right place. 36 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.719 And there's there's always an Ultimate Warrior and there's always 37 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.760 a macho man every rest event. 38 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:03.439 Hey you got that right. And there was a few 39 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.560 matra men around, but not quite as eccentric, I guess 40 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.840 we could say just none were running around being too 41 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.840 crazy with it. But uh yeah. So we get to 42 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:17.039 the stadium and everything, after getting parking situated, obviously, everything 43 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.919 was made pretty easy for us. We went out. We 44 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.039 saw where the what is it called the pre Show 45 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.520 was being filmed, and everything didn't get too close to 46 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.080 that just because that's where the gigantic crowd was. But 47 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.599 they didn't open the doors until a little bit later 48 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.280 than what we were hoping because they had said four thirty. 49 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.280 They didn't opened until about four to fifty five. So 50 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.879 we're all standing there just waiting at the gate, like 51 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.319 fifty thousand of us, just all sweaty and everything, and 52 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.120 it's just like, how this's getting worse and worse by 53 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.199 the minute. Eventually we get inside, and you know, the 54 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.599 fans were pretty lively. It was pretty nice to be 55 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:48.680 in there. Not gonna lie. 56 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:50.719 What were some of the chants that were going on 57 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.800 when you were waiting in line? 58 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.400 There's always chance going on? Uh in Lockclaire. 59 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.240 Yeah, there's a couple of Rick Flair wu's going on, 60 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.719 But there was a lot of just open up and 61 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.560 everything like that. I remember, Yeah, everybody was just getting 62 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.159 more and more annoyed the longer we were out there. 63 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.120 Cleveland was not happy about having to stand outside for 64 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:10.560 that long. 65 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.280 There was a temperature out there when you were standing. 66 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.560 I think it was close to ninety degrees that day, 67 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.520 which I know it's not that hot to some places, 68 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.800 but for us in Ohio, it's kind of that's a 69 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:20.280 bit much. 70 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.159 So you go ahead. I just gonna say, just out 71 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:26.759 of curiosity. 72 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.960 When they get those doors open, was there just like 73 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.479 merch stands everywhere? 74 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.520 So I did forget to mention. So outside where the 75 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.599 pre show thing was, there was a few trailers that 76 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.599 had merch stands inside of them. There was some food 77 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.560 stuff out there as well. Once we got inside the stadium, 78 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.759 there was a couple of merch areas you could get belts, shirts, whatever, 79 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.800 but it was more food. And I'll be honest with you, 80 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.919 I was really happy with the placement of a lot 81 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.080 of the stuff within Brown Stadium. I was pretty happy 82 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.680 to see where they had. Everything was pretty much everywhere 83 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.840 you can need and couldn't really get lost either. Everything 84 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.439 was marked very well. 85 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.159 I want to backtrack just a little bit because you're 86 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.800 stationed in UK. So how did y'all decide to go 87 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.280 to Summers? I'm just like, whoh, we want to go? 88 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.080 It's in Cleveland. It was a convenient. 89 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.720 You said you went with Uncle Tim, So did y'all? Like? 90 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000 What is what was that process like deciding to go? 91 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.680 Well, so I was planning on coming home and just decided, Okay, 92 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.160 this is the time period that I just saw that 93 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.040 SummerSlam was in the area, and I was kind of 94 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.680 looking at the prices. It's like, you know, I can 95 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.399 get this. I can get pretty good seats. And I decided, 96 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.120 you know what, how often am I going to be 97 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.600 able to say that I got to be at a 98 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.240 wrestling event in Cleveland Brown Stadium and something as big 99 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.879 as SummerSlam. So I decided, you know what, I'm going 100 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.519 to get tickets if Tim wants to come, because that's 101 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.639 who I'd prefer to hang out with that day. Cool. 102 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.319 If I have to go with someone else or even 103 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.480 eat the money for the ticket, I'll do it, but 104 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.480 prefer to go with Tim for sure. And he was 105 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.800 happy to go as well, happy that he was able 106 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:57.639 to experience it with me. 107 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.399 So y'all are from Ohio? Yes? 108 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:02.920 Yes? Originally? 109 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.160 Oh okay, I didn't know. 110 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.079 They didn't know they We never got that information out. 111 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.480 So if we're me learning and the listeners learning a 112 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.720 little bit more about you, okay, So that makes perfect sense. 113 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:12.319 All right? 114 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.439 So back to get in the gate? Uh March Stands? 115 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.600 What was Is there anything unique at the March Stands? 116 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.319 I know they have to Cleveland, Ohio belts. I know 117 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.120 those are going to be the custom ones. Anything else 118 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.360 that stood out on the marchdands. 119 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:25.920 Uh, So there was a few of them that I 120 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.839 noticed had certain hoodies and certain it almost looked like 121 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.879 a jerseys that just said Cleveland at the top and uh, 122 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.680 some Summer Slam stuff over it, and certain things that 123 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.240 were like browns or Cavaliers or Indians colors, depending on 124 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.319 what you were looking for. So there was a couple 125 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.879 of unique things that were specifically Cleveland branded, but they 126 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.519 all said Summer Slam on them as well, which I 127 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.360 thought was nice and I should have grabbed something, but 128 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.839 I just my mind blanked and I was just excited 129 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:50.279 to be there. 130 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.040 So how was it getting through you know, ticketing and 131 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.560 all that and finding your seats, you know, taking everything in. 132 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.439 I'm sure your uncle Tim Pearlly grabbed a beer you 133 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.920 wanted a hot dog or something like that, and then 134 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.040 headed down. How long did it take you to get 135 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.040 to your seats with all the people filing it at 136 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.639 the same time? 137 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.439 And where were you sitting? If you can, if you 138 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.560 can give us some perspective. 139 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.360 So I was sitting in the section that is the 140 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.160 first section that's not on the field, So I was 141 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.319 in the stands, but it was ten droughts back from 142 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:24.959 the wall, basically. 143 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.800 On the bottom bowl the first level, yes. 144 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.160 First level if you want to look it up, guys, 145 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.600 section one to eleven in Cleveland Brown Stadium. It was 146 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.839 a pretty good site as well. I could see the 147 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.319 ring and everything almost perfectly, and then looking up at 148 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.519 the jumble strowan or whatever you want to call it, 149 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.480 that they had it above the ring. You could see 150 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.319 the wrestlers were the exact same size when you look 151 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.319 down in the ring, So I thought it was fine. 152 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.240 Where I was. That's pretty nice. 153 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.040 Yeah, maybe you can drop some of the pictures in 154 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.439 discord for the listeners. You know, we're still fitting the 155 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.319 effects with summers lad we still got Friday night coming 156 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.319 up here under the horizon, so we noticed be some 157 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.600 more fallout, so I'm sure the listeners would love. 158 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.800 To see those see those pictures. So no merch. 159 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.040 But you said there was a couple of things that 160 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:13.000 were unique to the stands. There was there any pre 161 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.920 well it was on a pre show. Anything on pre 162 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.879 show before we had our first match. We know that 163 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.839 jelly roll opened up how was that for you? 164 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.000 So a couple of things were going on at that time, 165 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.279 So in the section that I was in, the sun 166 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.399 was just bearing down on us, and it was kind 167 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.160 of hard to see the ring at that moment. But 168 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.759 then as Jelly Rull started performing, and honestly, he sounded 169 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.439 pretty good, and I didn't mind looking away from the 170 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.279 ring at that moment. And then the sun started to 171 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.279 go down just enough so that the stadium's structure was 172 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.040 blocking it. So then at that point it's like, Okay, 173 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.079 they planned this pretty well with timing and everything, so 174 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.480 it wasn't going to be an issue. So honestly, I 175 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.160 was pretty pleased. And Jelly Rule sounded good. I'm not 176 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.519 like a huge, huge fan of him or anything, but 177 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.279 he's not somebody that I'll ever say that I'm like 178 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.439 hating on. He sounded pretty good that night, and I 179 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.720 thought he did America the Beautiful very well. 180 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.959 Michael, how do you feel what I'm hearing here is 181 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.800 that showet Jelly Roll has eclipsed the sun. 182 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.560 That's what I'm getting out of this right now. I 183 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.839 hate to say that that's just wrong. Actually, I do 184 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.839 stand up for what Jelly Role has done as far 185 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.439 as going to Congress to get and fetamines taken off 186 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.839 the streets. Uh, nobody's seen those YouTube clips. I highly 187 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.560 recommend that you see this because the stand that he's 188 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.759 taking against drugs is very, very important. So while he's 189 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.199 not a musician that I listened to at all, uh, 190 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.679 he's a human being that I get behind one. Now, 191 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.399 with that being said, as far as people opening up 192 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.080 in a particular venue, I always liked somebody who is 193 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:44.360 more indigenous to it. However, Cleveland, it's it's a hodgepodge 194 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.399 of what you could get there, like Machine Gun Kelly. 195 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.960 Come on, No one wants to see that anymore. And yeah, 196 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.159 I mean the biggest, the biggest rock band. Well, one 197 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.519 of the biggest rock bands that never really got mainstream 198 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.639 success from Cleveland was a band called mushroom Head, mostly 199 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.879 because they were ripped off by lip Not. But the 200 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.960 fact is, if you put the original lineup up there 201 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.039 and you said mushroom Heads or Cleveland's own mushroom Head, 202 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.919 the place would have come unhinged. But of course their 203 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.080 act is not going to play America the Beautiful. 204 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.240 So I was okay with it. 205 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.559 I mean, I have nothing against it, honestly, it's just 206 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:21.960 it's something just to add to say we had one 207 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.279 more name in the place. A lot of times they'll 208 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:29.200 play America the Beautiful or anything else off camera before 209 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.279 like pre show or before the show actually starts so 210 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.519 they can get right into the action. 211 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.440 So it was I think it was. 212 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.440 Very tastefully done, and I'm glad that he could help 213 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.200 out getting you some shade. 214 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.159 All right, Moving on, So, you know, everybody's been given 215 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.240 their reviews like crazy. Everywhere you turn, someone's reviewing this thing. 216 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.399 We're lucky we have the in person perspective from you, Maverick. 217 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.039 We know we had two turns, three title changes, the 218 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.720 blood of Food between Punk and McIntire get hotter, and 219 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.080 we had the travel Chief return. So let's just stop 220 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.960 with the tart. What's at the top. The big thing 221 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.039 I died to live and mommy match was the Dominick turn. 222 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:13.960 This was job. 223 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.639 Yeah, this was jaw dropping for me. How did you feel? 224 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.159 And then how did the people are around you in 225 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:19.919 your area or just in the in general the whole 226 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.600 stadium respond Because I felt like the stadium being open, 227 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.360 I didn't get to really hear how the people felt. 228 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:32.120 Uh So let me think here so match itself was 229 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.440 pretty good. I remember Tim and I were both saying, 230 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.679 you know what, it was very serviceable. I really enjoyed 231 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.600 watching it, and then afterwards seeing the turn from Dominic. 232 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.720 I remember some people were kind of saying like, how 233 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.240 could you turn on mommy? But then other people were 234 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.080 kind of like, I would I mean it's lived, and 235 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.200 then other people around me were just like why wouldn't 236 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.480 he And just looking at the both of them, it's like, 237 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.679 you know, I could understand either way right now. And 238 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.679 that's kind of where a lot of us sat. And 239 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.039 it was fun hearing every buddy all at once just 240 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.919 scream oh as soon as he kissed her, that was 241 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.440 that duge deal. 242 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.799 That's pretty much what happened here in my household between 243 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:08.960 me and mister rocket Tea. 244 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.320 I said that, Oh. She was like how could you? 245 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.000 And I was like why why would you? 246 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:13.639 Uh? 247 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.159 This match opened up twenty minutes, so between from from 248 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.919 bed to bell, I mean, you're right, very so service 249 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.799 will match? Uh Gardner, did you catch anything live or did. 250 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.759 You even get to watch watch it? Yeah? 251 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.600 I watched it live, and I gotta say, like, on 252 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.320 a one to ten scale, I gave this match a 253 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.039 solid six point five when my expectation was a four 254 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.440 point seven. So I love the fact that week by 255 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.399 week Dominic looks. 256 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.879 Sleazier and sleezier. 257 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.120 I mean that mullet mustache combo. In the nineties, we 258 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.360 call that like the pedophile special. Okay, So it's it's 259 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.879 he's taking it like a butt, like he needs to 260 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.600 trim that thing. 261 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.960 Okay, like he needs to shave. 262 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.159 That caterpillar off his off his upper lip, or trim 263 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.679 that down and trim that mullet a little bit. 264 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:01.360 We get it. 265 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.480 You're trying to be Eddie. Eddie never looked that sleazy. 266 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.720 Eddie looked greasy. He didn't look sleazy. I kind of 267 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.320 felt it was coming. But I really enjoyed the match. 268 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:16.159 I enjoyed the athleticism. Very few minor botch takes. Nothing 269 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.279 that really stands out to me, just once or twice, 270 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.879 an accidental spin around when you should have been there 271 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.240 in front of them kind of thing. But they recouped 272 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.639 for it really fast, and they were good with the 273 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.559 camera as far as quick cuts to the audience for reactions, 274 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.679 so we didn't pay attention to maybe a missed spot. 275 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.519 It was very low in miss spots. And to believe that, 276 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.480 to believe that Live can be in Rhea's world is 277 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.320 now very much appropriate, and we can elevate Live to 278 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.759 that higher tier the Charlotte Teer. Maybe she gets Sasha 279 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.200 banks old spot, you know, because Sasha could go and 280 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:51.879 she was smaller. 281 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.200 Live can go. She's smaller. 282 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.120 It creates also the dynamic of taking on smaller opponents. 283 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:02.559 When Alexa bliss Or initially comes back and you know, 284 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:10.279 Ali Yes helped me out here, Tia Trinidad Malchi Black's 285 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.840 wife Selena Vega, I mean, she can really go. So 286 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.919 we have a smaller person who can fight a mid 287 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.240 sized person who can fight a larger female. So we 288 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.559 have something really good going on with Live, I think, 289 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.480 and I think that she can play this pretentious role 290 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.879 and this I'm so hot roll way better than like 291 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.639 Carmela or some of the other people before her could. 292 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.879 So I rather see her in this role than somebody 293 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.679 like Alexa, who I think is going to be a 294 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.919 better fit with the Wya at seven. But that's just 295 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.320 me and so Rock, what did you think? 296 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.480 Like fully for the result? Man? 297 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.480 I was I was so happy with from top to bottom, 298 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:54.799 the entrances, the story they told the pace that they fought, 299 00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:01.000 the interference from Dom, the two Oblivions, and somebody correct 300 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.480 me if I'm wrong, but I know Matt had set 301 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.799 this stat as early as last month. But the Oblivion 302 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.360 Lives finish has been one of the most protected moves 303 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.519 in the sense that nobody has kicked out of it. 304 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:17.440 I believe that Rhea's kickout is the first ever for 305 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.519 the first Oblivion that we saw, so I think she 306 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.000 actually did something. There's some history there, but it was 307 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.600 the finish for me that really did it. 308 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:26.759 And then. 309 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.759 As soon as the bell wrong, you saw camera Panta 310 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.399 Doom the smile, and as soon as I saw a smile, 311 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.679 I knew, and then the way they had the camera 312 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.960 on her when she was holding the belt right before 313 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.360 he came up and embraced her, it was perfect camera work. 314 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.320 It was just it was great. 315 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:49.879 So yeah, I'd like to add in real quick, I 316 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.639 don't mean to cut you off, Rocky ahead. The one 317 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.000 thing that I want to add in that I did 318 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.039 see was as soon as Dom took the chair out 319 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.919 of Ray's hands. That was something that the crowd around 320 00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:02.639 me it was like really concerned and starting to say, 321 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.600 like he's starting honor that was the start of it 322 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.159 for us, it felt like and that kind of put 323 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.440 a seat in my head like could it be? I 324 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.039 couldn't tell at that point, and then it eventually did happen, 325 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.720 you know, And that was kind of that moment where 326 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.080 everybody lost it for a second in the ring or 327 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.039 in the arena. 328 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.600 I should say, yeah, I felt that too, But when 329 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.559 I saw the smile, I knew and I'm okay with it. 330 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.320 I know a lot of people are not I am, 331 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.480 but let's move on. So our first match had a 332 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.559 title retention. Our second match had a new champion, new 333 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.919 Intercontinental champion, Braun Breaker. We know people are saying, maybe 334 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.320 it's too soon. What was atmospher like for that match? 335 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.519 And then Michael tell me what you think it might 336 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.720 have been too soon for him? 337 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:45.600 All right? 338 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.039 So that match it felt fast in my opinion. It 339 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.440 didn't really feel like it went very long. 340 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:55.000 But twelve minutes, yeah. 341 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.559 It felt well. I guess we did could just come 342 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.320 off a twenty minute match earlier in that so it 343 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.240 did feel quicker. But I remember just thinking like, he's 344 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:06.360 not bad, He's pretty good in the ring. The match itself, 345 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.960 I had no complaints about it's just how fast it went. 346 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.080 It kind of made me question like is his stamina 347 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.559 loo or is there something else that could be wrong here? 348 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.440 But at the same time, you don't need every match 349 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.639 to be, you know, twenty thirty minutes, So I get it. 350 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.919 But I do really like Sammy's ayn. I'm kind of 351 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.240 a mark for that guy. But you know, I think 352 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.240 Braun maybe as intercontinental depending on how long he keeps it. 353 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.600 This could be a good or bad thing. Only time's 354 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.279 really gonna tell, honestly, all right, So I'm. 355 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:35.600 Gonna get into how I feel about this. 356 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.600 This is a difficult match to watch for me, not 357 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.000 because of the performance, but because the fact that I 358 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.039 like both people. I've never been a fan of someone 359 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.120 just getting the rocket straight out of the gate and 360 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.720 strapped to the moon. And of course Braun already had 361 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.279 one speed bump with Sammy. With the fact is I 362 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.080 do think it is a bit early. I think that 363 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.919 there's other stories that you could tell with Braun, as 364 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.879 far as not putting a title on him to build 365 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.679 him up into the next upper echelon. In fact, instead 366 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.880 of a title, I would push him up until next 367 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.480 year's King of the Ring and they make him King 368 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.039 of the Ring without all the speaking in you know, 369 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.200 the thick English accent and carrying a scepter and cape. 370 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.799 But I think it would be better for him to 371 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.160 have feuds with like mo over them is no one 372 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:24.680 likes him. Take out Waller, you know, take out go 373 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.079 to battle with Seamus, you know, tie that up, so 374 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:31.240 Seamus isn't in the upper tier. These are the people 375 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.640 that you could build the next year with him above 376 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.920 and then go into the King of the Ring tournament, 377 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.119 win the King of the Ring and then you. 378 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:42.519 Can get. 379 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.039 Yeah, well you could either get the title match at 380 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.480 SummerSlam or you know, you could still be slid into 381 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.880 the intercontinental tier now that the belt actually means something 382 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.240 again and it's starting to have more credibility. Uh, the 383 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.000 fact that they've played hot potato with it since Goonter law, 384 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.319 that's that's not It doesn't say much for Sammy being 385 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.319 the one to this phone Gunter. It doesn't say much 386 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:09.480 for Gunter. And what's it gonna say for Braun if 387 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.359 they take it off him right away when his next 388 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:16.079 challenger say braunz Stroman. So that's another guy you want 389 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.480 me to believe in? Broun Breaker having go into a 390 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.440 few with braun Stroman. 391 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:20.119 There's a lot of. 392 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.559 Potential to build this character and this particular athlete, in 393 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.519 this particular wrestler without putting a title on him this early, 394 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.079 and without damaging Sammy's credibility as a person with butterfingers 395 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.119 every time he touched his goal. 396 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:32.680 So that's how I felt about that. 397 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.960 Quick side note they spelled his name with two k's. Yeah, 398 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.519 I'm just really realizing that looking at the match card here. Wow, 399 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:44.759 all right, all right, all right, so I know the 400 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.119 atmosphere jumped up for our next match, the United States 401 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.920
